Question 1

What defines the boundary layer thickness?

  • Fraction of total fluid volume
  • Distance from the surface to where velocity is nearly free stream velocity
  • Thickness of the laminar sublayer

💡 Hint: Think about where the flow characteristics change significantly.

Question 2

True or False: In a turbulent boundary layer, the fluid particle does not experience distortion.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how speed differences can affect particle shape.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A flat plate experiences a laminar flow transitioning to a turbulent flow after certain distance. Describe how you would calculate the boundary layer thickness at a point where the velocity approaches 99% of free stream velocity.

💡 Hint: Consider using empirical correlations for boundary layer flows.

Question 2

Given a velocity profile and the fluid properties, derive the expression for the momentum thickness in the boundary layer.

💡 Hint: Think about the conservation of momentum principles.
